Shamrock Tartan

[emeraldfalconoflight]

Hey Guys,

Sorry if there's any confusion... the "Shamrock" tartan that's on our site is NOT a registered tartan. There SHOULD be an asterisk (*) behind it. I just checked and noticed that there isn't one. I'm getting that fixed ASAP.

The tartan is a "Bumble Bee"... it's a made up tartan that we found a couple bolts of down on Fabric Row in Philly... Kelly and I made up the name so that we had something to call it. Since it's mostly black and green and "looked Irish", we named it Shamrock.

Again... sorry for the confusion.

Thank you for the clarification Rocky.

You dont by any chance have the Henderson Tartan in PV for the Casual hidden somwhere do ya ;-) ?

Hey Cory,

Unfortunately, we don't have the Henderson tartan in PV. There's about 70 names of which we keep about 40 in stock. Sorry about that.

The Shamrock tartan is mainly green and black with a VERY dark blue (you can only tell it's dark blue in the daylight). The material is a 10 oz worsted wool... it's NOT PV. It's "suit quality" wool. VERY tight weave and very nice and soft to the touch with a decent hand to it.

Rocky, I'm sure the Shamrock is a lovely tartan. All tartans are lovely, I love tartans, I love the colours, they are very alluring.....hang on, there's a knock at the door...men in white coats??

How's my plain, non-tartan kilt coming along Rocky? :grin:

Just to clear this up...

If you recall (those of you that were here a year ago), Graham wanted a solid color "traditional looking" kilt. Out of the choices he had (UK, AK, etc), he didn't like the "shiny bits" and the smaller front apron. We talked about it and I told him that I'd make him a Victory Kilt and if he didn't like it, he could send it back for a refund. Well... to my amazement, he DIDN'T like it and DID send it back. It was too "comtemporary" looking.

I got bored the other week and decided I was going to make myself a solid color kilt. I remembered that I had promised one to Graham and since he's a great guy and friend of ours, I decided to see if he was still interested. He is and I have ordered the material (dark green). We'll see how this turns out. It is NOT something I want to do for anyone else... Just Graham (and myself of course ;) )
